Danger level
Danger Level 1 - Low above 2500m
Danger Level 2 - Moderate above 2500m
Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2500m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Gliding snow above 2500m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night. Wet and gliding avalanches are the main danger.
Already in the late morning mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m, this applies in case of a single winter sport participant. As a consequence of the moist air there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet snow slides, especially below approximately 2500 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep slopes. Wet slab avalanches are not to be expected.
In addition a latent danger of gliding avalanches exists. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2500 m.
Snowpack
dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 2: gliding snow
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will already be soft in the early morning. Some rain will fall from the afternoon in some localities, especially south of the Inn, in particular below approximately 2000 m. The snowpack will be wet all the way through at intermediate altitudes. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.
Tendency
Wet loose snow avalanches and gliding avalanches are still possible.

Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2500m, N-NE-E-SE-S-SW-W-NW
Wind-drifted snow above 3000m, N-NE-NW
Gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are possible already in the late morning. Wind slabs in high Alpine regions.
Already in the late morning mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m, this applies in case of a single winter sport participant. As the day progresses as a consequence of the moist air there will be only a slight increase in the danger of wet snow slides, especially below approximately 2500 m. Caution is to be exercised in particular on extremely steep slopes. Wet slab avalanches are not to be expected.
The deep wind slabs of last week are in some cases still prone to triggering on very steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions. Avalanches can still in isolated cases be released, mostly by large loads and reach dangerously large size. The avalanche prone locations are rather rare. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines.
In addition there is a danger of gliding avalanches. This applies in all aspects below approximately 2500 m.
Snowpack
dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be severely restricted. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will already be soft in the early morning. Some rain will fall from the afternoon in some localities, in particular below approximately 2000 m. The snowpack will be wet all the way through at intermediate altitudes. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.
The wind slabs of last week have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. They are in many cases deep but unlikely to be released now.
Tendency
Wet snow slides and avalanches are still possible.

Snowpack
dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 6: cold, loose snow and wind
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will soften quickly. Some rain will fall from the afternoon in some localities, in particular below approximately 2000 m. Isolated avalanche prone weak layers exist in the bottom section of the old snowpack on shady slopes. Here individual wet slab avalanches are possible as the penetration by moisture increases. This applies especially in areas close to the tree line.
The wind slabs of last week have bonded quite well with the old snowpack. They are in many cases deep but unlikely to be released now.
Tendency
Wet snow slides and avalanches are still possible.
